I really like this one, James. The dynamic change on the last refrain and building it back up was solid! Would love singing along to this at a live gig someday. Well done!

Brilliant! Love this box of doubts... Halo, broken magic wand, Rose glasses, pedestal for lovers before they fell... So many great lives and images!🙂🎶👏 from David Easterling

I really love this.  The melody and chords are gorgeous.  Nice relatable clever lyrics.

In terms of how much you pack into this song, it's like a novel! Wonderful lyrics and a great melody -- but I expect no less!

wow great lines to open and then they just keep going on and on

perfect wisdom for right now -but this has to be a part of a Broadway musical surely-Act 3 I suspect-love the chorus melody-

"I’m Ready Now" (#392, 200905)

 * Co-written with Paul McDonnell *

I'm looking for a place to put these chances I won't take
There's no more space the closet's full door's about to break
Gotta' clear some room by throwin' out these broken things
Collectin' dust from dawn to dusk beneath this old box spring

Like the halo that I used to wear, and my broken magic wand
There’s the shoes I never walked a mile in, should have tried those on

Well I’m ready now I’m singin’ it out loud
I'm breakin' free of what I can see I'm better off without
Yeah these nights are long but this ain't about what's right or wrong
It's just about me throwin' out my doubts and I think I'm ready now

My rosy tinted glasses they've been down there for awhile
Next to all the hours I spent wishin' like a child
A clover with 3 leaves it never seemed to grow a fourth
The pedestal that leveled all my lovers to the floor

The first stone that I couldn't cast, the tears that didn't help
Fallin' on the pages full of words I told myself

Well I’m ready now I’m screamin’ it out loud
I'm breakin' free of what I can see I'm better off without
Yeah these nights are long but this ain't about what's right or wrong
It's just about me throwin' out my doubts and I think I'm ready now

Pictures from the past like a movie in my mind
I can change my story when I leave them all behind
